Aims

To help practitioners improve their skills in diagnosing endodontic disease and devising a treatment plan as well as performing root canal treatment with a contemporary approach.

Objectives
  • Endodontic diagnosis.
  • Understanding the root canal and pulp chamber anatomy.
  • Preparation of conservative access cavity and locating the orifices of the canals.
  • Learning how to locate and negotiate MB2 in upper molars and mid-mesial canals in lower molars.
  • Understanding the principles of isolation and the importance of an aseptic approach in endodontic outcomes.
  • Introduction to magnification and its role in endodontic treatment.
  • Learning about working length determination.
  • Learning how to negotiate difficult anatomies such as curved or calcified canals.
  • Establishing glide path.
  • Introduction to different NiTi instruments. (Rotary and Reciprocation)
  • Learning about the different instrumentation techniques of the canals.
Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course, participants can expect to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Comprehensive Theoretical Knowledge:

  • A deep understanding of endodontic principles, including anatomy, diagnosis, treatment planning, and the latest advancements in the field.

2. Clinical Proficiency:

  •  Enhanced practical skills in endodontic procedures, including access cavity preparation, canal instrumentation, obturation, and use of modern technologies.

3. Effective Use of Technology:

  • · Competence in using advanced technologies such as operating microscopes, rotary instruments, and apex locators for improved clinical outcomes.

4. Infection Control:

  •  Proficient application of infection control protocols and strict aseptic techniques to ensure a sterile endodontic operatory and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
